the Minns mob have been very strict when it comes to paying State employees such as doctors and nurses., but seem quite willing to spend in infrastructure. they don't seem able to find any costs to cut.
but this bit is pretty interesting:"The government is also proposing to change planning rules, to allow private developers to provide land for schools or even build roads themselves, instead of waiting for the state government to do it and contributing to the cost of the project.
"Premier Chris Minns said the move would speed up the development of housing in high-growth areas where infrastructure was limited, including Greater Sydney, Central Coast, Illawarra-Shoalhaven, and the Lower Hunter.
"You can't build new homes without roads, parks, and schools to match, and the community shouldn't have to wait for them," he said."

but will developers be willing to give up valuable land for a park?
